Rwanda discussion and immigration roundup: October 2023

Free Movement

Our October immigration round up is here and we have also included discussion of the Supreme Court's decision in the Rwanda litigation. As well as that, Colin and Sonia covered everything from fishing to legal aid shortages via eSports, medico-legal reports, public funds and the shortage occupation list. We're still not entirely sure that either of us are pronouncing "refoulement" properly.
